Double Play Candy Corn Spirea – 3 Gallon Gardens of the World Nursery

Description

Double Play Candy Corn Spirea is a deciduous shrub that is known for its striking foliage, which changes color throughout the growing season. It is a hybrid plant, developed by crossing two species of spirea, Spiraea japonica and Spiraea albiflora.

This shrub typically grows to a height of around 2-3 feet and has a similar spread. It produces clusters of small, pink flowers in the spring, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. However, the main feature of this plant is its foliage, which emerges in shades of bright orange and red in the spring, then transitions to bright yellow in the summer, and finally to shades of orange and red again in the fall.

Double Play Candy Corn Spirea is a relatively low-maintenance plant, preferring moist, well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight. It can be pruned after flowering to promote new growth and maintain its shape. This shrub is also generally resistant to pests and diseases, making it a great choice for gardeners looking for a colorful and hardy plant.
